Sweet & Tart and two recipes for Key Lime Pie
Alina's Key Lime Pie
Hello, my friends! This recipe was created in honor of my friend Alina, who is an absolutely brilliant actress, and an incredible friend! She and I discussed the recipe and why I believe it really is an absolutely perfect way to describe her via the medium of baked goods. You can see the video on our Zen & Sugar facebook page here:

Also, I'm going to write down two recipes here, one that actually involves baking, and another that is way simple and can be thrown together with all pre-made ingredients, HEY-OH!
Alina's Key Lime Pie (Version 1)
Ingredients:
1 9-inch graham cracker crust
4 egg yolks (with two of the egg whites reserved)
14 oz of sweetened condensed milke
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice from key limes!
Lime zest
1 cup whipping cream
3 Tbsp Sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks
3. Add in the condensed milk, lime juice, & 1-2 tsp of the lime zest (reserve some for garnish)
4. Beat two of the reserved egg whites using a hand mixer in a separate bowl until the egg whites hold stiff peaks.
5. Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture of the lime juice, condensed milk, etc.
6. Gently pour the filling into the prepared crust, and use a rubber spatula to smooth out the top.
7. Bake for around 20 minutes on a rack in the center of the oven.
8. Remove the key lime pie from the oven and let it cool completely before moving it to a refrigerator to chill and set for about 4 hours.
9. Beat the cream and sugar on medium using a hand mixer in a large bowl until soft peaks form (feel free to add some green food coloring to keep it all lime-like)
10. Gently smooth the whipped cream over the pie filling & garnish with the remaining lime zest.
VOILA!
Alina's Key Lime Pie (Version 2)
Ingredients:
1. 1 9-inch graham cracker crust
2. 1/4 cup boiling water
3. 1 4-serving size package of lime gelatin
4. 2 containers of key lime pie flavored yogurt (they're about 5.3 oz each)
5. 1 8oz tub of cool whip
Directions:
1. Mix the boiling water with the gelatin and whisk together until the gelatin is disolved.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the gelatin and both packages of yogurt until thoroughly mixed together.
3. Gently fold in the cool whip until everything is fully mixed.
4. Pour filling into the prepared pie crust and chill for 4 hours in the fridge.
EASY PEASY!
